Hi John, sorry to hear about your expense! Nah, the 2TB that I have is the Seagate ST32000… a slow 5400rpm drive. Besides, I never buy anything apple 🙂

To say the least, I learnt my lesson with digital storage. Luckily I had the most important information backed up on DVD, but to recover all of the 2TB, using freeware software to say the least – was a dream come true.

Gentlemen, thank you all so much. With help from you and other forums, I was able to get 100% of my data back from the drive! I used TestDisk which worked like a charm (loaded through PartedMagic off of UBCD). My eyes lit up when I saw all of my directories show up on the disk while in TestDisk. It was a great moment.

Thank you so much. I most certainly will leave the 2tb drive disconnected while getting my raid0 set up – this time.

Anyone else trying to retreive data in a similar fashion can certainly email me for the steps that I took in my case.

cheers

Thanks for the prompt reply gentlemen!

I’ll give disk director a go when I get home from work. I plan on installing Windows 7 on the raptor raid 0 set, installing disk director, and seeing if it can work its magic on the 2TB drive that is (now) correctly connected directly into the motherboard – not the raid controller (doh!).

Thanks again, I shall keep you posted
